Episode 73: Fear Tab

In this episode, Amy is frustrated by thumbs through a variety of definitions of "tab" (18:30 - with a side-trip into the story of "tag" at 34:20) and Ryan tries not to get ambushed with "fear" (41:40).

Also, thanks to new Patreon supporter, Laurel (0:55) and to Luca for (1:30) for transcribing a couple of our early episodes!! 

We also talk about a guy who doesn't speak/know Scots writing the bulk of Scots Wikipedia (4:30).

Here's the "Acronymphomania" article Amy talked about.

Lexitecture is a podcast about words. In each episode, a Canadian (Ryan) and a Scot (Amy) each present their current favourite word and talk about its origins, current use, and try to puzzle out how it may have gone from A to B. If you love thinking and talking about words, word origins, or just random bits of head-scratching language trivia, this may be the show for you!
